Life is getting back to normal...finally!

I am finally feeling better. I had another procedure on Thursday to remove gall stones that were left behind after my surgery. Well when they went in with the scope, there were no more stones! I guess my body took care of them on its own. My jaundice seems to be going away and I can finally eat again without pain. I feel SO much better. Still tired, a little sore, but great. A big thanks goes out to John's parents for helping out AGAIN!

George and Clara are getting so big. Every morning I wake up and think they grew overnight. Clara is "walking" while we hold her. She looks hilarious doing this but seems to really like it. She is still a very serious baby. She seems to take in every bit of the world. Both George and Clara are returning mommy and daddy's smiles. Clara especially likes it when you stick your tongue out at her. George seems to laugh and smile at anything. At a baby shower for the twins at my old school this week he was labeled a "flirt." They both are staying awake longer during the day and sleeping through the night.

We are working on transitioning the twins into their cribs. They've been sleeping in their room for a month and a half but are in their infant positioners. George has slept in his crib for the past two nights and has done great. The only problem is that he is a little inch worm. He starts at one end of the crib and somehow inches his way to the other end of the crib by the morning. Today he woke up with his face firmly planted in the bumper. Not good! So that is coming out of the crib! Clara is going to be a little more difficult to transition so we plan on tackling that adventure next weekend.

This weekend my mom came to stay on Friday night. She cooked us three fantastic meals and was such a big help. I always enjoy having her around. While she was here, Clara let out her first big giggle. We have no idea what she was laughing at but Grammy Quinn sure seemed funny to her that day. We also went to two parties. One was at my co-worker's house. It was really fun to have the twins there and catch up with some good friends. Today we went to Allison Carter's first birthday party at the Children's Museum downtown. We really enjoyed the "Tots" area. It's great to have George and Clara around other kiddos. We really had a nice weekend!


We're pretty cute!
